Two subjects, an adult male and female, were taken into custody shortly after the van stopped. The driver and a third passenger were arrested Saturday night. The driver was brought back to St. Joseph County and lodged in the county jail. The suspects allegedly attempted to steal over $1000 in merchandise from Meijer.
